the Milky Way, which we use to derive the density, pressure and filling factor of the thick disk …

A population of gamma-ray millisecond pulsars seen with the Fermi Large Area Telescope

AA Abdo, M Ackermann, M Ajello, WB Atwood… - Science, 2009 - science.org
Pulsars are born with subsecond spin periods and slow by electromagnetic braking for
several tens of millions of years, when detectable radiation ceases. A second life can occur …
